Brad Nailers and Compressors
Wise Buys: No-Hose Brad Nailers
Gas- or battery-powered brad nailers handle trim and molding jobs just as well as their pneumatic cousins, but without the fuss of dragging around an air compressor and hose.
Each tested kit comes with a 2- to 6-gallon compressor, hose, an 18-gauge brad nailer, and another nailer or stapler for much less than you'd pay if buying each item piecemeal.
Great news! Many of the 12 models we tested cost $100 or less, and we even got good performance from a $30 nailer!
